Sono troppo emozionato per dire qualcosa di sensato, ma penso solo a quando Presti all'inizio del rebuilding disse che avrebbe scelto prima le persone che i giocatori. Ecco, guardateli Shai e JDub, quanto hanno dentro. La complessità di caratteri così particolari, così difficili
Here are the 17 voters who didn't have Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as their 2025-26 MVP winner:
Sacramento Bee's Jason Anderson, Miami Herald's Anthony Chiang, Detroit News' Coty Davis, Cleveland's Chris Fedor, AFP's Robin Gremmel, CBS Sports' James Herbert, New York Daily's CJ Holmes, ESPN Latin America's Sebastian Martinez-Christensen, Sport 5's Yoav Modai, Yahoo! Sports' Kevin O'Connor, The Ringer's Michael Pina, Philadelphia Inquirer's Keith Pompey, The Athletic's Jason Quick, beIN Sports' Remi Reverchon, The Ringer's Bill Simmons, SiriusXM NBA Radio's Justin Termine and Prime's Stan Van Gundy,
Sempre lui, il giornalista di riferimento dell'NBA in Italia per gazzetta... 22 anni e decisivo in un pivotal game di una conference finals. Se fai i tik tok non ti può interessare la pallacanestro, questo è il livello.
Play of the game e non solo perchè dà il+15 dopo lo 0-15 iniziale. Riassume tutto quello che è cambiato da G1: tempi di passaggio di Shai dal raddoppio, AC in visione con i piedi in area, movement shooter sullo stesso lato che attacca deciso e tripla aperta presa senza esitare
33 assists to 7 turnovers for SGA through 3 games. The supreme value of being able to maintain a live dribble vs. pressure and always getting a shot off — and some really good passing decisions, especially tonight.
Incredibile quanto è migliorato l'attacco dopo G1, ovviamente i meriti sono per la maggior parte di Shai e di come ha gestito i soft double, ma non gli verrà mai riconosciuto. Poi avere IHart dà una dimensione completamente diversa ai tiratori.
I CAN'T BELIEVE WE GOT JARED MCCAIN
Biggest credit I give Daigneault is the fact that everyone that comes into a game for OKC plays with incredible freedom. He created an environment on the best team in the league where none of them are afraid of taking on more responsibility. That's insane and to me is coaching
Shai’s CPoY isn’t incidental to his MVP case, btw, it’s central. If he’d had a *good* clutch szn, OKC would be the 2 seed, inarguably. His adv stat, bird’s eye case is bulletproof, but it gets even better when you zoom in to the big plays and their direct outcome: HCA in the WCF.
@RaphealDavis3 right that's all true but you can play analytically-savvy basketball that way. A huge part of the analytical movement is winning the possession battle, which is what this roster was built to do with bully ball. Analytics aren't just 3s, and they weren't a deficient shooting team
It’s funny how when Wemby does something wrong, and something players have been suspended for in the past, many are searching for reasons to justify it.
If that were Ant, Shai, Jokic, or anyone else everyone would be calling for maximum punishment.
And if it were Dort….
Now imagine if the Thunder led the league in fts per game for three years straight, just lost by 18 in a playoff game, did this.
What would people be saying about this?
Back in my day the stars that blew 3-1 leads would just sign with the team that beat them in a generational villain heel turn that created a superteam
Now all we get is Twitch streams
